Chindogu Design

For those who suffer from the divots on their noses due to wearing glasses for a long time and refuse to bear the harm of contact lenses, “Slide and See” will save them. “Slide and See” acts like a headband attached to glasses/sunglasses that can easily slide up and down. There is no contact between the lenses and the nose, which protects the user’s nose. The user can also store multiple pairs of glasses on the metal rod attached to the headband, which is more convenient for the user to switch in and outdoor if he has a pair of regular glasses and a pair sunglasses. When purchasing “Slide and See”, the user would buy the headband and metal rod as the basic set and buy the special glasses designed for the set individually. “Slide and See” basic set is unisex, and it comes in different sizes depending on the user’s head size. Lenses come in all shapes and sizes for users of all ages.

When I first started designing this “machine”, I was aiming for it to be both fashionable and almost useful for those who have the needs for a machine like “Slide and See”. The color design of the Chindogu was inspired by images of the Memphis Design (Picture below). The actual execution of the design changed slightly when I realized it would be much simpler to buy a pair of glasses and work around the design. The final product is made out of duct tape, wood block, brass rods, zip ties, and a pair of sunglasses.
